Nobody hates Star Wars like Star Wars fans. The newest controversy to stir up the Fandom Menace is a doozy. The third episode of The Acolyte implies that twins—Osha and Mae—were conceived with a little help from the force. According to trolls online, however, what The Acolyte really did was unravel the very fabric of Star Wars by ruining Anakin’s status as the messiah of the Star Wars universe.
Except, of course, it didn’t.
The Force Created Anakin
No matter how much George Lucas and Disney say otherwise, some fans are just deadset on believing that Darth Plagueis and Palpatine created Anakin. I’m sorry, but this is just false. The Force created Anakin from scratch as a response to the Sith Lord’s experiments. Case closed.
The Acolyte Isn’t The Same
Meanwhile, what happened on The Acolyte isn’t at all reminiscent of Anakin’s creation. Yes, it’s implied that Mother Aniseya used the Force in some fashion to help impregnate her wife, Mother Koril. But for all we know, she just manipulated the midichlorians in one of Koril’s eggs to start the fertilization process.
At no point in the series so far does The Acolyte mention anything akin to Anakin’s virgin birth.
By the way, as a lapsed Catholic, can I just add that virgin birth is the correct term to use? Immaculate conception refers to someone being born with a clean soul, i.e., not tainted by sin.
Apples To Oranges
Wait, so Palpatine was trying to get Darth Plagueis pregnant? I kid, of course, but seriously, how can one compare what the Sith were going for to two moms using magic to get pregnant? That’s like comparing Frankenstein to in vitro fertilization.
Two Force Users Made Children
“But what about all the trouble everyone in Star Wars has making force sensitive clones?” I can hear some of you ask. It’s true that the idiocy of The Rise of Skywalker has forced the franchise to reverse engineer an explanation for how hard it is to just make a force-sensitive clone of Palpatine.
Toxicity
That’s right! The kid is also Force-sensitive! Every argument the Fandom Menace makes is easily countered with logic; they just don’t want to see it.
The truth is they were already looking for a reason to hate The Acolyte—this perceived affront to Anakin’s legacy as space Jesus is just their latest baseless outrage.
Meet me back here next week when I’m sure I’ll be talking about the newest thing The Acolyte did to “ruin” Star Wars. Anyone got a less toxic fandom I can join?
